Patent EP-1104139-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BRUCE PAUL A
IPC: H04L25/06
Filed: 2000-11-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus (10) is provided for efficiently regenerating an
incoming data signal at a sampling point which is continually optimized
independently of the regeneration process. While the incoming data signal is
being regenerated in a regeneration unit (14), a monitoring unit (12) is used for
concurrently optimizing the slicing threshold and sampling phase used in the
regeneration unit (14) without disturbing the on-going data regeneration. A
master-slave arrangement is used to regenerate the incoming data signal
whereby the regenerating unit (14) is updated with a new slicing threshold and
sampling phase only after the new slicing threshold and sampling phase are
fully optimized by the monitoring unit (12). In this way, the data regeneration
can proceed unaffected by the optimization of the slicing threshold and
sampling phase which, as a result can be continuously optimized without
inducing any errors into the regenerated data.

Abstract: An electrophotographic image forming apparatus comprises an amorphous silicon photosensitive drum showing a rotation starting torque held lower than a predetermined value (e.g., 0.39 N·m) in order to make the produced images free from unevenness and no molten developer would adhere to the photosensitive drum after long use so that the drum can be prevented from being scraped. The surface of the amorphous silicon photosensitive drum 1 is electrically uniformly charged and a laser beam LB is emitted from image exposure unit 3 to irradiate the surface of the photosensitive drum 1 and draw an electrostatic latent image there, which electrostatic latent image is then developed by developing unit 5, using toner. The image developed by toner is then transferred onto a receiving material 11 by transfer charger 6. A plurality of line grooves are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the drum-shaped aluminum base member of the amorphous silicon photosensitive drum 1 in parallel with each other around the circumference and an amorphous silicon photosensitive layer is formed on the surface thereof. The surface roughness is defined by Ra = 0.08 to 0.12 µm.

Abstract: A fault on the generator (12) can be detected with the
use of a simple arrangement. The output of the generator
(12) which has multi-phase winding and is driven by an engine
(11) is rectified and then converted by an inverter (133)
into an alternating current at the frequency of a system
before interconnected to the source of the system (14).
After the engine (11) is started, the direct current voltage
Vdc is monitored with a first fault monitor (40). When the
direct current voltage Vdc rises up to a predetermined level,
a connector relay (135) is closed. As the output of the
inverter (133) is increased, the interconnection with the
system source (14) is enabled. After the interconnection,
the direct current voltage and the output of the inverter
(133) are monitored with a second fault monitor (43). If
the direct current voltage drops down to below the
predetermined level before the output of the inverter (133)
reaches a rated level, the canceling and re-interconnection
is repeated. Then, when the direct current voltage remains
below the predetermined level after the re-interconnection,
it is judged that the generator (12) has a fault such as
a line breakage in the windings disconnection.

Patent EP-1119146-A3 (EP)
Title: Frequency-domain equalisation
Inventor: HUDSON JOHN E
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2001-01-22
Abstract: Equalisation of a communication channel is achieved through use of a Wiener
filter frequency response mechanism, that operates to transform both the
received data and the channel impulse response into frequency domain
representations, using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Subsequently, spectral
equalisation of data spectra and a channel spectrum, in the frequency domain,
yields an equalised packet spectrum, that can be converted back into the time
domain by an inverse FFT function. Ratio comparison of the data spectra with
the channel spectrum, and conversion back into the time domain, equalises the
channel to appear white. Matrix manipulation, i.e. transformation, of STTD samples
(in the form of real and imaginary vectors) incident to a receive antenna, allows
FFT processing of encoded data, initially presented on either a chip-wise or
symbol-wise basis, in an information slot or packet. The matrix manipulation defines
a set of samples seen at the receive antenna, in terms of a complex multiplexed
transmitted sample sequence sent from a plurality of sources across separate
paths that are affected by respective channel impulse responses. Operating in
the frequency domain avoids extensive signal processing requirements
associated with joint detection algorithms in high data rate application, with
processing load made independent of channel impulse response duration. The
principle of applying Fourier transformation techniques in equalisation is also
applicable to systems employing multiple transmit elements and multiple
receiver elements, such as in space-time coding (STC) schemes.

Abstract: This invention describes a novel production method of manufacturing
metal/ceramic articles with complex internal undercut features using powder
injection molding processes The shape of the undercut/hollow feature is initially
molded using a disposable material such as a degradable polymer. The PIM
feedstock is then molded onto this to form the required shape geometry, in effect
encapsulating the polymeric feature in the PIM feedstock. The resulting two-material
part is then sent for processing which removes the polymer through
solvent or thermal process. After the polymer and the binder have been removed,
the part now comprises a powder skeleton that contains the internal undercut
feature within itself. After sintering the result is a metal/ceramic part having an
internal undercut feature. The technical advantage of the present invention is that
it does not require complex toolings or costly secondary operations while retaining
the flexibility to design any internal undercut features of complex geometry. An
additional embodiment of the invention is also disclosed in which a solid structure
is encapsulated inside a hollow shell said structure being free to move around
inside the shell.

a plurality of signal channels of signal light having
respective center optical frequencies different from each

within the optical fiber when the pumping light is supplied
thereto, and controlling the pumping light supply section
such that the Raman-amplified signal light has a
substantially flat power spectrum with respect to an optical
frequency direction according to the result of detection.
In particular, the feedback section divides the detected
Raman-amplified signal light into N optical frequency ranges
defined so as to include respective Raman amplification peaks
as optical frequencies lower than respective center optical
frequencies of the pumping channels of pumping light by an
optical frequency shift of about 15 THz, and controls the
pumping light supply section such that the Raman-amplified
signal light has a power fluctuation of 2 dB or less in each
of thus divided N optical frequency ranges.
